Home with Dean Sharp

 No flowers in your home means we love you! Dean believes your home should be a thing of beauty every day of the year, not just on Valentine’s Day. 

Today’s first caller is having a house presently being built and the builder wants to apply just one coat of paint behind the bathroom mirrors, tub and toilet. Is that normal, or should there be a second coat applied? 

Is your roof leaking? Looks like it is for our next caller, and they’re wondering what they can do to plug that hole, especially now that the rains are returning to SoCal.

Dean talks about how to design like he does, and how you look at your home makes all the difference in design.  Dean takes calls from listeners about how to fix and maintain large sliding doors, how to mitigate heat on a west facing wall, the best solution for fascia when putting a new roof on a home and the difference in LVP "luxury vinyl plank flooring" and 'regular' vinyl flooring when it comes to being environmentally conscious.

The next caller lives in a house built on a granite mountain and is wondering if she needs earthquake insurance. She also wanted to know about how best to clean and maintain her air ducts without being taken for a ride by outsourcing to professionals who are willing to clean them for her.
